TEEING OFF Shanking: cause and cure #4 Making contact with the hosel of the dub instead of the club face is called shanking. A detriment to proper hitting, it has four possible causes. Here’s the last of four: Causa You may be moving your body ahead of the ball during the downswing, and this lateral motion leaves the dub head trailing behind. The dub head approaches too much from the inside, and the face is laid open. Cure The goal is to return the dub to the position it was at address and make on-center contact. Try these: ■ Have a more relaxed swinging action. ■ Use less grip pressure. ■ Lessen the tension in your arms at address. ■ Make a long, slow backswing. ■ Keep your head steady at all times.

Cox column Continued from page IB that he spent the night at school certainly proved that he was well-schooled in self-sacrifice and dedication -- a by-product of his days as an athlete. Lemon has transferred his drive into the academic area and the West Brunswick school has flourished with all kinds of innovations in the class room. The Trojans’ administrator isn’t opposed to change. If it works and is cffectn e, he’s always been open to new ideas from anyone. The thing you remember about Ed Lemon, though, is his enthusiasm. It’s the same today as it was in the early days. I remember when I rode with him to set-up a state playoff game back in the 70s. He was bubbling and excited about his team and coaches. Yes, like a fine wine,... All-COUnty Continued from page IB in 23 runs. North Brunswick infielder Adrian Black had a banner season, finishing second on the Scorpion team at .367 with 22 hits in 60 times at bat, in cluding three doubles and two homers. He scored ten runs and pro duced 22 RBI. This was a year for the catcher in Brunswick County as North Bruns wick’s Robert Heweu made the squad in the infield, hitting .296 with 16 RBI. The Scorpion sophomore hit four doubles and a home run. West Brunswick leadoff hitler Greg Mott completes the all-county infield. He held an excellent on-base average and was a superb defensive player for coach Mike Alderson’s Trojans (13-10). In the outfield, West Brunswick’s Aaron Buder led the way. The foot ball fullback, who was part of the Trojans’ one-two backfield punch that led those gridders to a state 2A title last fall, led the team in hitting this spring. Joining Butler was South Bruns wick outfielder Lewis Vaught. Vaught, an excellent defensive player, collected some key hits for coach Jack Brown’s Cougar nine. North Brunswick outfielder Demetrius Bell, a prospect some of the pro clubs are looking at, com pletes the all-county outfield. Bell hit .281 with 16 hits in 57 times at bat and scored 19 runs. A leadoff hitter. Bell hit three triples and two home runs. The lefthander also hit the mound for the Scorpions and, when he curbed his wildness, was an effective chunker. The dream team’s pitching corps Cardinals split The Cardinals produced a great outpouring of runs in Dixie Youth softball competition last week but prevailed in only one of two games. On May 24 the Cards smothered the Sandflddlers 21-8, led by Echo Dowling with four hits, including two homers. Kelly Lockamy had three hits and Brittney Collier had two. But on May 26 the Tigers edged the Cardinals 9-8 when Anna Adams, Tare Wilson, Stephanie Capps and Amy Eller had two hits apiece. In a May 19 contest the Cardinals also proved to be heavy scorers, defeating the Lions 12-8. (-— Play the Squirrel!

For a sophomore, McBride showed tremendous promise. How ever, he hurt his arm against West Brunswick after throwing a one hitter in the Seashell tournament and sat out the majority of the second round of conference play. Brother of UNCW’s Chris McBride, a former Scorpion star, Casey finished the season with a 1.75 earned run aver age in 40 innings of pitching. The North Brunswick righthander was 3-2 and had one save, yielding 11 earned runs, 18 hits while strik ing out 52 batters and walking 19. He yielded two doubles, two triples and three home runs. South Brunswick’s Ricker beat West Brunswick in the Cougars’ only conference win and did an ex cellent job in other close games. He’ll help South Brunswick’s young nine next season and Post 445’s American Legion team this summer. West Brunswick’s Gore, son of Brunswick Shores Post 445 athletic officer Danny Gore, was probably the hardest thrower in the county. Gore will be counted on to carry Brunswick Shores in its quest for a winning season this summer. Mintz hurled 27 innings for North Brunswick this spring and led the county in earned run average at 0.25, yielding just one earned run with a 2-0 record.
